No other list in the book gives the tribes in this order. Clarke reads it as the order in which the tribes settled, from Judah in the south to Naphtali in the north.

Paltiel son of Azzan, a leader from the tribe of Issachar

Issachar follows Zebulun here, as it does in the blessing of Moses at Deuteronomy 33:18. Their lots follow one another too. Joshua 19:10 and 19:17 record the third lot for Zebulun and the fourth for Issachar.
